The Tokyo Bay Private Dinner in a Traditional Boat experience was absolutely amazing. The boat looked so cool and traditional, we loved the traditional style of the decor with the tatami and the lamps. The people working the boat were very friendly and everything was explained clearly and in detail. The boat had bathrooms as well, which was nice as the experience was all you can drink! The food was really good, all the tempura was really tasty; and they were able to accommodate our vegetarian friend. All-in-all a great experience during our Japan trip!

Our host, Kaori, was very nice and friendly. She patiently explained the steps for all the participants when it was their turn and answered any questions we had. It was very cool that apart from the actual tea ceremony experience, she also introduced us to some of the history behind tea ceremonies. My partner and I enjoyed the experience and would recommend it to anyone looking to experience a tea ceremony in a traditional building in Kyoto.

Vegetarian Dining Experiences in Japan

In a country as convenient and efficient as Japan (with 24/7 convenience stores located on every street), you would think that Japan has it all! But if you're a vegetarian in Japan, you might be faced with the challenges of finding something you can eat at restaurants, shops, and even the ready-made food aisles of supermarkets. Bento boxes usually include fish or meat products, and even miso soup is usually made with a fish-based dashi broth. But while it is important to be aware that Japanese cuisine relies heavily on the fishing industry (as should be expected of an archipelago surrounded by abundant waters), it is by no means impossible to find vegetarian food in Japan.

Don’t worry about invisible meat or fish ingredients! Find out what’s for dinner (or lunch) by browsing these vegetarian dining experiences in Japan. Restaurants in Japan are becoming more and more accommodating to those with dietary restrictions like vegetarianism. So why not show your support for vegetarian restaurants in Japan and chefs who are striving to provide plant-based meals to guests from abroad! Join a vegetarian dining experience in Japan, right here on byFood.
